Once and for all we’re gonna tell you who we are so shut up and listen
Teatro i, Milan
[ Dutch title: Pubers bestaan niet ]
We’re gonna do a play about teenagers
but about a lot more than teenagers
who feel like teenagers during their teens:
about the utter chaos in our heads,
the urge to go far too far, pimples
and dozens of other topics that will enrich your lives
We’ll pull down the barriers between the way we are onstage and off
We’ll update the definition of puberty
We get on your nerves, but for once you’ll understand why.
We will make all other art on puberty superfluous
You’ll think we’re super cool.
ONCE AND FOR ALL WE’RE GONNA TELL YOU WHO WE ARE SO SHUT UP AND LISTEN can only be performed by teenagers. It shows thirteen youngsters who are rebellious, try to grasp themselves, behave aggressively, feel vulnerable, are cool, play like children, but are sometimes surprisingly adult.
An adolescent total loss,
